>>an original, candid, passionate and unique style,
>>always unexpected and incisive
i would not have thought allof these terms
are unequivocally terms of praise . . . lotsa
stuff is unique becaues no one thought it
replicating . . . and i would think we by now
recognize that the endless quest for
originality leads more often than not to the
merely tiresome . . . or perhaps it's my fault
for turning to this list NOT to be amused
but to help me think more clearly about
some messy things - - is it stodgy to feel
impatient with stuff that in aiming at one
shortchanges the other?
